Looking for a fan for 6600GT

[PrayForDeath]

Okey, my Geforce 6600gt's fan is dead. It's a PCI-express MSI card. I know nothing about aftermarket coolers, so what do you think I should buy? I need something cheap (less than 20$) since I am gonna upgrade the card soon.
Thanks!

Zalman cu-700 should fit. It's quiet and quite effective.

Take a 80mm fan and tie-wrap it onto the existing HS. Tada! A cheap, and effective drop in temps. I did that, and I see a 5C drop in temps usually.

Where do they sell those fans? Will I find some at Fry's?

I'd recommend this as well. Piece of cake to install and will drop temps by 20C . Great cooler!

Wonder if this is common with MSI fans, the fan on my MSI 6600GT AGP is starting to go, too.

Wow, thanks for all the recommendations!
What's the difference between the two Zalman fans? One of them is copper, the other is alluminum?
And does the zalman take an extra pci-express slot? Like the slot in front of the video card?
Thanks

Peace & ciao !!!
